Nah, This is NOT for Me!

I guess I'll see you all around, some day. I have absolutely no patience for any of this. I've got so many questions and nobody to answer them, as it appears we're all in the dark.

Good luck my friends, and maybe I'll be back when the smoke and the fog clears xox

Hey Sunny! Once I made a bunch of changes in 'Edit My Preferences' it made a 110% difference for me. Now it looks pretty normal - well, kind of weirdly all white, but normal with the forums listed on the left, no extraneous krap all over the place, and just very similar to before.

I changed the view to 'Forum Only View' and that was the biggest change that made it much more palatable.

There is nothing here that I have posted in the past few days including Lainey's monthly book club! I found a handful of old ancient posts of mine from years ago. What a mess. Not worth the trouble. If they wanted to shut this community down, they did a fine job of it.

Yeah, it's weird. Instead of deleting OLD threads, they deleted a lot of the newer, and current (as in people still posting to them) threads. That is one of the changes that I cannot make sense of.

Playing around with the preferences makes a difference (for me) It looks more like a 'message board' the way I have it set up now.

It's a big change but we'll all adjust sooner or later.

I find that really odd, and to me it's a sign they made a royal mess of the transfer of existing threads/posts. I've tried a number of things, and so far can't see any way to logically locate the recently active threads (or the ones I was posting on).

Don't get discouraged! Give it time before you say sayonara. The reason I say this is because I have been here since Day 1 of the boards (ShopTalk) and each time there was an upgrade, there were always a few days of utter confusion.

Eventually you'll learn the new features one-by-one until you feel much more comfortable.

Hey thanks Chickenbutt, that change made it look better. It is all just a learning curve. It will get better everyone.

sunny,

Please don't stray too far away! I hope some of the problems we're seeing will be things that can be corrected... hope springs eternal.
